Abstract: 8433. Latour, M. C. A. April 12, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Motors, controlling.- Alternating current commutator motors adapted to start as series motors are provided with means whereby a shunt or a compound excitation may be impressed on the motor when up to speed without interrupting the motor circuit. With the connexions as shown in Fig. 1 the motor operates as a series motor, and by closing the switch D the motor is converted into a shunt motor, the exciting - brushes b, b<1> being connected, through the transformer C, across the mains. By closing the switch D, positioned as in Fig. 2, the series motor is converted into a motor having a compound excitation. In Fig. 3 is shown the application to a three-phase motor C<1>, C<2>, and C<3> representing sources of shunt excitation. The three-phase motor may be given a six-phase shunt excitation by means of additional sources of shunt excitation E', E<2>, E<3>, Fig. 5, connected to auxiliary brushes.

Title: Valve Apparatus for Intermittently Supplying Gas to Lamps, applicable also as Gas or Liquid Meters, and also for Obtaining Reciprocating Motion by Fluid Pressure.
Inventor: POST GUSTAF VON
Filed: 1908-04-21
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 8720. Post, G. von. April 21. Gas lamps and burners; gas supply; vapour lamps and burners; buoy lamps; lighthouse lamps.- Relates to valve apparatus for intermittently supplying gas to lamps for lighthouses, buoys, &c. for obtaining intermittent light. The apparatus comprises a casing a divided by a diaphragm b, through which passes a pipe c connected to the diaphragm and formed of two parts connected by a screw collar h constituting a valve casing which encloses a double-ended valve d adapted to close alternately against the oppositely-disposed ends of the pipes. The valve d is connected by a pin e to spring-pressed toggles f. In operation. gas enters by the pipe c and passes round the valve member into the chamber above the diaphragm through the apertures in the collar h through which the pin e passes. The gas pressure thereupon forces down the diaphragm and with it the valve member and the toggles. When the toggles are carried past their mid position they move suddenly downwards under the action of the spring, carrying the valve d down, and thereby closing the inlet pipe and opening the outlet pipe to allow the gas above the diaphragm to pass away to the burners. The spring i forces the diaphragm back again as the gas above the diaphragm escapes, and the position of the valve is again reversed quickly as the toggles move past their mid position again.

Title: Improvements relating to Hydraulic Air-compressors.
Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE
Filed: 1908-05-29
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 11,735. Harrison, G., [Champ, J. H.]. May 29. Compressing.-In hydraulic air-compressors of the kind in which the admission and discharge of the pressure water to and from the compression chamber is controlled by float-operated mechanism, the air outlet a<2> is controlled by a valve in the form of a hollow float a<4>, which is normally engaged and seated by the main float when in its highest position, but in the case of an abnormal rise of water, due to any defect in the float-operated mechanism, is seated by the water directly, so as to prevent water from entering the airdelivery pipe. The float-operated mechanism comprises a differential piston E, E<1>, which, according to its position, puts the chamber A in communication with the water-inlet pipe d open to the space between the piston heads, or with the waterdischarge pipe c, respectively, by way of wall ports b<3>. The float H operates a pilot valve F for controlling the admission and exhaust of pressure water to and from the space above the larger piston head, which thereby effects the movement of the differential piston

Abstract: 15,417. Haas, L. Aug. 5, 1907, [date applied for under Sectinn 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Samples furnished under Section 2 of Patents &c. Act, 1907. Diphenyl derivatives; carbazoles; dyes, artificial. - 5 : 5<1>-Dichlor-2 : 2<1>-dinitrodiphenyl is converted into its mono- or di-sulphonic acids, and these are condensed with one or two molecules of an aromatic base or aminophenol. Products are thus obtained of the general formulae :- These products on treatment with polysulphides give dyes which dye vegetable fibre green, blue, or black shades. Reduction of the above compounds and treatment with boiling dilute acids give compounds of the general formulae :- These may also be converted into sulphur dyes. According to examples, the monosulphonio acid and disulphonic acid of the dinitrodichlordiphenyl are condensed with one and two molecular proportions respectively of p-aminophenol, and the products of condensation are, after reduction, converted into blue dyes ; the products of reduction and treatment with boiling sulphonic acid yield blue dyes also. The condensation may also be carried out with other aminophenols, aminocresols, sulphonated or not, aminosalicylic acid, or with amines, diamines, or alkylamines, or their sulphonated or carboxylic derivatives. The Specification in its original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the following subject-matter. The process is applicable to any halogen derivative of oo-dinitrodiphenyl halogenated in the para position to the nitro group and capable of being sulphonated in the ortho position to the halogen. For example, 4 : 5 : 4<1> : 5<1>- tetrachlor-2 : 2<1>-dinitrodiphenyl is obtained by heating 1 : 2 :4-trichlor-5-nitrobenzene with copper powder and a small quantity of iodine in nitrobenzene, and is converted into its mono or disulphonic acids by treatment with chlorsulphonic acid. These may be condensed with amines, or aminophenols, reduced, and sulphurized, as described above This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 19,628. Parkinson, B. R., and Woodall, H. Sept. 18. [Patent of Addition to No. 23,414, A.D. 1907.] Tube expanders.- Expanding-mandrels for use with nipples of the kind described in Specification No. 23,414, A.D. 1907, are in two sections. The lower section with a conical head 7<1> is held in the nipple 2 by a nut 8, which seats on the upper end of the' nipple, or by other suitable means. The nipple with the mandrel section is screwed into the main, Fig. 1, by an ordinary machine, which is then removed. Packing 25 and a saddle-piece 24 are then secured in place by a junction-piece 10 screwed on to the nipple. The junction-piece has a ballvalve 21 carried on a rod 20 passing through a gland 18 screwed to the lateral branch of the junction - piece. Any other form of valve adapted to be used in the same way may be substituted for the valve 21. An upper screwthreaded mandrel-section 9 is then screwed to the lower mandrel section, and the mandrel is drawn through the nipple, to expand the lower beaded end, by a nut 14 bearing on the upper end of the sleeve 13, screwed to the junctionpiece. The internal fluid pressure raises the mandrel until a boss 9<1> seats against the upper end of the sleeve 13 and thus prevents the escape of fluid. The ball-valve 21 is pushed in to close the orifice 23, as shown in Fig. 3. The mandrel and the sleeve 13 are removed, and a plug 15 is screwed in to close the upper end of the nipple 2, Fig. 4. The valve 21 and gland 18 are removed from the lateral branch of the junction-piece, to which the service pipe is then attached, the plug 15 being finally raised to permit flow of the fluid and the upper end of the junction-piece closed by a screw cap.
